Jacob: I was considering a G73J, but it just skims right outside my price range.

Neptune: I said a GAMING laptop, not a fancy bookshelf. (I am VERY anti Apple, by the way.)

argwings: I wasn't looking at alienware, they're way out of my price range for the performance. Thanks for the heads up, though, as I was considering them at one time.

BelgainRofl: Nothx

Sounds like I should look at the Toshiba ones. Ill also take a look at some of the other suggestions. Thanks for the input guys, keep it coming.
